This 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Wood Body Skiff as released around the time the the Franklin Mint was really stepping up their models. Most notably, beyond the beautiful woodwork, was the delicate scaled black wire wheels. This model really showed the unique type of coachwork that the rich and elites chose to set their Rolls from the pack. The serpent-headed serpentine horn is the height of flamboyance.

The detail on this model is fantastic. Rich, your pictures certainly show the model off beautifully.
